xsl test
Use 

<xsl:apply-templates mode="x" select="."/> 

<xsl:template mode="x" match="forObj | flow | step">

Doing an explicit test on name() should only be a last resort: template
rules are there for this job. 

Note that you can give the same template both a name and a match pattern if
you need to, and invoke it either by apply-templates or by call-template.

You could write (name()='forObj' or name()='flow'...), and in XSLT 2.0 you
could write <xsl:if test="name() = ('forObj', 'flow', 'step')"> but it's not
the right answer here.
